The court convicted the defendant of intentional endangerment of road safety due to driving under the influence of alcohol while previously suspended from driving. The prosecution argued that the defendant's prior convictions and current intoxication level warranted a severe sentence, which the court upheld. Consequently, the defendant was sentenced to two years in prison, a lifetime ban from driving, and ordered to pay compensation to the victim.
